Cheese from the northeast is a joke. Go ahead and celebrate your home grown stuff but the best of the best is wiseconsin.

California? They make milk, not cheese.

As far as flavor goes, you are wrong:

"The higher omega-3 levels and other differences in fatty acid composition contributes to flavors and odors in grass-fed meat that most people find undesirable. Taste-panel participants have found the meat from grass-fed animals to be characterized by "off-flavors including ammonia, gamey, bitter, liverish, old, rotten and sour."

What About Grass-fed Beef? (new window)

However grass fed is nutritionally superior.

Me though, I eats my steaks for flavor.

When it comes to plain ol' grocery store commodity cheese, I find the California stuff to be almost inedible. Artisanal cheeses are great, no matter where they're made -- California's Sonoma dry jack, Wisconsin's Pleasant Valley Reserve, all in the same league.

Vermont cheese can be nice, but I never understood the fetish about the lack of yellow coloring...

If you are in Northern Cal, and can find it try cheese from Spring Hill Farm. Their cheese curds are awesome.

Some of that, and a sweet sonoma white make a great summer night.

I brought my own tasting panel and it disagrees. The flavor is fuller and more complex, but if you're tasting ammonia you need to find a better butcher with better sourcing. But even if it were inferior, I'd still eat it rather than support CAFO producers. Speaking of bad agricultural practices, can someone please put the fat back into my pork? Thanks in advance.

My response was in quotations, meaning it came from linked article.

I don't taste ammonia, a pro panel did. I just don't taste the full flavor that the corn fed has

differeing opinions, that's all.

I love deep fried cheese curds, but there's nothing better than warm, fresh, squeaky cheese curds directly from the vat.

So I go to Chicago for a few days and wind up at an all-too-swanky and a wee bit pretentious wine & cheese bar, but hey, I wasn't choosing the place or paying. Anyway, with my $13 plate of bleu cheeses, what do I get but a local WI cheese that I could have walked down the block home in Madison and picked up. On Wisconsin!

Having grown up just a few miles away from Sonoma, I know how good some of the artisanal cheeses can be. I moved to Silicon Valley about a year ago and have since been experimenting with a lot more Indian food (since there's so much of it around here), and one of my favorite things to make at home now is a hot and spicy chana masala, topped with some high-quality grated jack cheese (Sonoma Jack, Spring Hill, and Jersey Farms are excellent, Kraft is not allowed).

I just wish I could find a locally-made cheddar that has the intensity of the stuff that's imported from Ireland, or even Canada.

 
bmwericus 2009-03-21 01:43:21 PM  
With my Mother being from Wis. and lots of friends/relatives there, I'm not unhappy with this at all, in fact, I know a guy from Antigo and he's probably over the moon about this.

And since I live in CA, I'm pleased to point out that in Paris just over a year ago, our local Rouge et Noir cheese factory here in West Marin, won for best pasturized milk cheese for their [drum roll please]...BRIE.

WIS and CA both make good cheese - and yea, I love Tillamook and VT cheddar too - ah, the good old USA.

/And yea, I've had Nepali Yak Cheese

Not to mention that time when a wine from Napa first beat the legendary French wines in a blind taste-test many years ago (can't remember when; it was before my time). And I've heard that an olive oil from DaVero in Healdsburg, CA won a blind taste-test in a worldwide contest in 2003.

Now, if we could just get more Americans to appreciate the great food that's available in their own back yard, and stop eating so much crap...

There is a GREAT movie out on that famous blind tasting, it's called "Bottle Shock" and you can get it on DVD, it's funnier than heck, Alan Rickman [AKA "Professor Snape"] is one of the stars. I watched it with my wine-loving parents and we just howled, having spent a fair bit of time in the Napa Valley.

/not kidding about the Yak Cheese though
//Hmmm, Cheese
